What is a “high-risk” pregnancy?
With every pregnancy comes certain risks, but there are more dangers to the health of the mother and baby with a high-risk pregnancy. A pregnancy is deemed high-risk when the mother, the baby, or both are at higher-than-average risk of complications during the pregnancy. These complications can be related to to pre-existing conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, or conditions the expecting mother develops during the pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes. Other risk factors for a high-risk pregnancy include multiple births, previous problem pregnancies, being overweight or underweight and maternal age (over 35 or under 17).
Women with a chronic condition should talk to their doctor about how to minimize risk before they get pregnant. Examples of common conditions that can complicate a pregnancy include:
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Kidney problems
Autoimmune disorders
Sexually transmitted diseases
Diabetes
Cancer
